Ed Selyem and Burt Williams pursued their winemaking dream in a garage in Forestville, California. Their first vintage was produced in 1982 and within five years, their demand exceeded supply and a wait list was created. Selyem fans had to wait, at times, up to three years to purchase one of these delectable bottles! They quickly gained cult status and set a new standard for Pinot Noir. Now the Dyson family owns the winery and is still created outstanding Pinot Noir.
The Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2018 is a refined expression of cool-climate California fruit, showcasing a blend of grapes from various vineyards influenced by the region's foggy conditions. With a long growing season, this wine is characterized by its balance and complexity, featuring flavors of blackberry, cherry, and raspberry complemented by herbal and spiced notes. The texture is silky, supported by integrated acidity and subtle tannins, making it approachable yet capable of aging. The wine spent approximately 14 months in French oak, with 40% being new, which adds depth without overwhelming the fruit. A total of 1,938 cases were produced.
